Howdy guys,

Well as the topic states i need your advise on upgrading my R33.

Details atm:

R33 GTS-T

Auto

3 inch Cat back

High Flow Cat (Yet to install)

What i want to do:

Install -FMIC 600x300 approx

Install -Boost Controller & Boost to approx 12psi

Now i've spoken to a few ppl regarding installation and Computer. From what i've gathered i would need to use E-Manage as the other popular ones wont agree with the auto. Although Electronic Automotive(Melb) rekon that i could get away without using it simply by putting it on the dyno, see where it runs lean and set the MAX boost there....He rekons he's done it heaps of times with the most recent a R34 with just FMIC and controller, NO COMPUTER.....

He rekons the E-Manage is shyte as its just a piggy bak with very little options and simply not worth it...

From what i've gathered on the forums its obviously of benifit to have the computer done but can i get away without it? Im not after massive gains; just something modest on the standard turbo...say 160/170 rwkw???

If you plan to stick with the stock turbo you won't open up the world of hurt involved with Auto Skylines and ECUs.

Basically yes you can turn up the boost and not have any kind of fuel management system. However you will run very rich at the high end (I had down to 7 AFR) and you will experience a fuel cut, thus preventing you from running as high a boost as possible.

If you get a fuel management system like the SAFC2 or E-Manage you should be able to run maximum boost on a stock turbo.

If you want to upgrade the turbo, prepare to pay big bucks ($2000+) for a ECU replacement that can work well with the Nissan auto shift logic.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
